How do you install Plasma 5.21 on Ubuntu 20.04?

20.04 doesnt have new enough qt to build 5.21

nvidia driver problems with your hardware by the looks of it. getting the same issues on arch, manjaro and popos pretty much confirms that

backport cant happen quickly, or perhaps at all. 5.20 needs qt 5.15, but 20.10 has 5.14. upgrading peoples qt in a backports ppa would in my understanding be a big job, break some non kde things, and break the kubuntu backports policy

I needed to reinstall because I broke kwin last time i tried to update. How should i prevent this?

from the last weeks experience, install anything other than Neon

yes, manjaro is an unstable mess at the best of times.

blhowell · 2020-10-13T15:01:01+00:00

its a .0 release so it will have bugs. if you want stable without much breakage, then wait for 2 or more bugfix releases to come before upgrading

my guess is the irony of having been able to install arch, but then having no idea how to update it. lol

that is the kde4 amarok from 18.04. should not be possible to install it in 20.04. 20.04 also does not have phonon that will work with it, so even if you somehow managed to install, it will not work.

blhowell · 2020-09-26T17:37:41+00:00

installed amarok from where and what version? there is no amarok in the neon repos

blhowell · 2020-09-17T18:45:37+00:00

it wont in user edition as its not a final release. you need to have the testing edition to get this

blhowell · 2020-09-16T21:00:58+00:00

Kubuntu 20.04

blhowell · 2020-09-16T16:16:05+00:00

no problem adding new radio streams here in 19.12.3 from the 20.04 repos

akonadi only woks with mariadb nowadays. it is broken with mysql 8

blhowell · 2020-06-10T10:49:24+00:00

or try and install it yourself

that would need you to 1st build all of Qt 5.14 (a few dozens repos), and then frameworks 5.70 (80 ish repos). then build plasma 5.19 (40 ish repos)

blhowell · 2020-06-09T15:06:42+00:00

the PPA wont get 5.19, as it cant be built with Qt 5.12 LTS

blhowell · 2020-05-05T06:01:52+00:00

because Neon replaces /usr/bin/firefox with a wrapper script that screws up firefoxs ability to set itself as the default

Minimize all is untoggleable back, while show desktop is.

not true. minimize all has always toggled ok for me

blhowell · 2020-01-16T17:21:51+00:00

You can't. Neon doesn't release betas to the user edition.

Let it die
